Hillary Clinton’s health scare over the weekend, and the revelation that she was recently diagnosed with pneumonia, is dominating headlines on Monday, but still isn’t trending on Facebook’s politics section.
As of Monday afternoon, there were only two political topics trending on the social media site: 1) David Cameron’s resignation from parliament, and 2) Indian economist Raghuram Rajan.

The site’s all-encompassing list of trending subjects contains no mentions of Hillary’s health, either.
Facebook has come under scrutiny of late for its treatment of political stories, with many conservatives accusing the social media network of demonstrating a bias against stories that are damaging to Democrats.
Meanwhile, some Hillary-related items have popped up on Twitter’s trend tracker on Monday, including her campaign spokesman Brian Fallon, and the hashtag #HillarysBodyDouble, which was inspired by speculation that there is a second Hillary Clinton that can be called into action when the original model malfunctions.
This was not the case in the aftermath of Hillary’s “fainting” episode.
